After watching a presentation on a Japanese rapid reforestation method being used in India, I decided maybe I could have my own indigenous tree nursery for people here in Eugene who love planting trees.
Look closely at the black pot. On Earth Day I rescued three tree starts from the community garden. |
Squirrels started an Oak tree by bringing an acorn into this pot where I am regenerating a Hydrangea by taking a cutting from another one. |
Four Pine trees and a Maple share this pot. The Pines are transplanted twice. First from between rocks in my yard and then from another pot that had too many baby trees. |
If you look closely around the edges and in the center of this pot you will find four baby Maples. |
Before I moved them, the four Pine starts were in with the four Maples. That's too many as they all start to grow. |
It will be a while before I know which trees will make it and why. But that's okey. Already I have over a dozen baby trees to nurture and learn about.
